/me code Version 3

Updated version 2.00 thanks to buro9!

Updated version 3.00 thanks to Edgewize!

New in version 3.00:
Correct parsing in quotes, private messages etc.

Okay, this is the famous /me code first created by Chen. All credits go to him. I'm just putting up instructions on how to do this in vB3. It's very easy.

Typing "/me is great!" gives you this:

* Erwin is great!


You make changes to THREE php files only.

1. Copy this piece of code:

Change "red" to whatever color you want.

PHP Code:

// /me hack
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'newreply' && !isset($bbcode) && isset($pagetext))
        $pagetext = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '$1* '.$postinfo['username'].' $3', $pagetext);
elseif (THIS_SCRIPT == 'private' && !isset($bbcode) && isset($pagetext))
        $pagetext = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '$1* '.$pm['fromusername'].' $3', $pagetext);
elseif (isset($bbcode) && $dobbcode && is_array($GLOBALS['post']))
        $bbcode = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '$1* '.$GLOBALS['post']['username'].' $3', $bbcode);
elseif (isset($bbcode) && $dobbcode && $GLOBALS['previewpost'])
        $bbcode = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '$1* '.$GLOBALS['bbuserinfo']['username'].' $3', $bbcode);
elseif (isset($bbcode) && $dobbcode && isset($GLOBALS['fromuserinfo']))
        $bbcode = preg_replace('#^(([ \t]|\[[a-z]+[^\]]*\])*)/me[ \t](.*)$#Uim', '$1* '.$GLOBALS['fromuserinfo']['username'].' $3', $bbcode);
// /me hack 


2. Open functions_bbcodeparse.php:

Find:

PHP Code:

} // end smilies 


PASTE code copied BELOW.

3. Open newreply.php

Find:

In 3.0.6 or less:

PHP Code:

$pagetext = trim(strip_quotes($pagetext)); 


In 3.0.7:

PHP Code:

$pagetext = trim(htmlspecialchars_uni($pagetext));
